Helping Your Child with Disabilities Transition to Elementary School

Posted: May 13, 2025Starting school is a big step—for children and their families. At the John McGivney Children’s Centre (JMCC), we understand the questions that come with this transition: Who will care for my child? Will they make friends? What will their day look like? In this video, JMCC staff, parents, and children share real experiences and helpful tips to guide your family through this important milestone. Learn what to expect, how to work with teachers and school staff, and ways to support your child’s independence, inclusion, and friendships. If your child is receiving JMCC therapy services, speak with your therapist about how we can support your transition to school. Learn more at www.jmccentre.ca.
